Add one more to the list: A hybrid record store and craft beer bar called Off The Record, which had a soft opening Tuesday.

Beer … plus … music … you have my attention.

Off The Record is the brainchild of Club Dada owners Josh Florence, Phil Coward, Bryan Austin, and Tim Daniels, and fittingly resides next door to the music venue on Elm Street. The team has partnered with Good Records, an independent record shop on Lower Greenville, to supply the vinyl collection, which is expected to grow to over 5,000 records, according to Florence.

“It’s a sample size of exactly what Good Records is,” he says. “Good Records is back in Deep Ellum, in my opinion.”

Off The Record will only sell new records, but that includes in presses of old classics.

The bar has 24 draft taps dedicated to local and national craft beer brands and 10 craft cocktail offerings. Off The Record also has a stage area where it will host DJ nights spanning the soul, funk, boogie, and country genres.

Off The Record is now open, and will celebrate with a grand opening party on September 12.

“We’re hoping to provide a comfortable adult spot where people can come in and get super delicious local craft beer and buy their favorite record,” says Florence.

DJ CeePee, a.k.a. Chris Penn, co-owner of Good Records, was spinning at the soft opening Tuesday, which local pub Central Track was on the ground for. Off The Record will celebrate a grand opening on September 12 with live music and, of course, cold beer.

Off The Record is open Monday through Friday 4 p.m. to 2 a.m., and Saturday and Sundays from 12p.m. to 2 a.m. For more information, visit the Off The Record Facebook page.
